Unbelievable but true, it is, indeed, 30 Years of Shah Rukh Khan in the Film Industry! The King Khan of Bollywood, the star kick-started his career by appearing him several television shows around the late 1980s. One of his first appearances was in the Raj Kumar Kapoor-directed 1989 series Fauji. Soon enough the star made his big-screen debut with the 1992 film Deewana and has not looked back since.
Early in his career, the actor’s biggest breaks came from films like Baazigar (1993), Darr (1993), and Anjaam (1994) as he broke the stereotype of being only a romantic hero by portraying villainous roles. However, his romantic dramas such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Mohabbatein (2000) and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) are also films that led him to great heights.
In recent years, SRK has been doing some challenging roles by pushing his boundaries. The celebrity’s 2010 film My Name Is Khan and 2016 film Dear Zindagi are ones that gained him massive critical acclaim and films like, Chennai Express (2013), Dilwale (2015) and Raees (2017) are one of his highest-grossing films of all time. Throughout his career, SRK has been keen on sharing his two cents and knowledge on various things in life and his career. His words have always impacted people in ways no one else will ever be able to.
